ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION The Mandate of the Minister and Department of Environment and Natural Resources is to promote sustainable development through the management and protection of the quality, diversity and abundance of natural resources and the integrity of the environment. The following are core functions the Department executes in support of natural resource management and protection of the environment: Forest Management The primary role of this division is to develop plans and promote the sustainable development of forest resources and to provide forest fire management services including forest fire prevention, detection, monitoring, situation assessment and fire suppression action. The Forest Management Division (FMD) provides the policy, planning and regulatory framework for the stewardship, protection and sustainable management of forest resources on 75 million hectares of land in the Northwest Territories, 18% of Canada's entire forested area. Working with First Nations governments, communities, other governments and nongovernmental agencies on such a vast land mass presents unique and complex challenges for forest managers. The FMD co-ordinates and facilitates the implementation of forest management programs and services among the five Administrative Regions of ENR. The Regional Offices have the primary responsibility for delivery of programs. Regional staff implements forest resource and fire management programs for the Department. Regional personnel receive applications for approval to harvest, supervise harvesting activities, ensure compliance with standards, support community protection planning efforts and carry out fire management activities under the direction of the Forest Management Division. Some Regions have been further divided into districts each with their own administration and operation centre. Each Region and District is responsible for implementing the fire management program at the field level within their own jurisdiction. The overall Territorial program management including activities such as establishing policy guidelines and standards for the air attack program falls under the jurisdiction of the Forest Management Division located in Fort Smith. Environment This Division is responsible along with several federal agencies to ensure that release of contaminants into the air, water and land are minimized and environmental impacts associated with industrial and community development are assessed and minimized. The Division also coordinates initiatives promoting energy awareness, energy alternatives and energy efficiency. Their goal is to protect and enhance the environmental quality in the North. Departmental programs are designed to control the discharge of contaminants and reduce their impacts on the natural environment. This is a shared responsibility with Federal, Territorial, Aboriginal and Municipal agencies as well as every resident of the Northwest Territories. Their goal is to promote energy conservation and the use of energy efficient technology in the Northwest Territories; identify and facilitate the development of alternative local energy sources which strengthen community economies and promote and facilitate energy planning. ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES Page 1 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL Wildlife Management The role of this division is to develop plans and strategies in partnership with co-management boards and Federal Departments to ensure the conservation and sustainable use of renewable resources through training, income support programs, wildlife and habitat research and compliance. The division also develops policies and implements initiatives for the establishment and operation of protected areas in the NWT. Water Resources The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) is responsible for the managing water resources in the Mackenzie Valley and inland waters in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region through the administration of the Waters Act and regulations. B. AIR ATTACK OPERATIONS Territorial Air Attack Operations are controlled and coordinated through the Forest Management Division, Aviation Services section. Preseason helicopter and air tanker contracts are arranged for and distributed through Aviation Services. As there are very few roads in the NWT, almost all wildland fires receive some form of air attack activity. Although long-term contract helicopters and air tankers are assigned to a specific base of operations it should be remembered that as an aircraft under contract to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ fire program, you are a Territorial Resource. That is to say, you could be used anywhere in the Northwest Territories even though you are assigned to a particular base. Essentially you are under the “user authority” of the “Director, Forest Management” who has in most cases delegated this authority to the Territorial Duty Officer, the Resource Officers, or in the case of air tanker groups, the Air Attack Officer. With helicopters and in some cases fixed wing aircraft on fires, the control will be delegated to the Incident Commander. The pilot will be kept informed when this control is delegated or withdrawn. Bypassing of this person is not acceptable unless problems arise. Each Region is responsible for the management and utilization of its assigned aircraft within the operational guidelines set out for forest fire management. Each Region is also expected to request (and justify) additional aircraft as required though the Forest Management Division in order to maintain resources for initial attack and ongoing wildland fire activities. The management and operations of the Air Tanker Bases are the responsibility of the Forest Management Division. When a tanker group is stationed at a base within the Region, that Region’s Duty Officer has the authority to prioritize fires and dispatch the group at his/her discretion. The group may not carry out Inter-Region dispatches unless approval has been granted through the Forest Management Division. The Air Attack Officers and Tanker Base personnel are part of the Forest Management Division’s staff and as such come under the general supervision of the Manager, Aviation Services. Once a group has been assigned a target and dispatched, the Air Attack Officer and his or her group must become part of the Region or District team. Page 2 ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL C. COMMUNICATIONS All pilots of aircraft operating under hire for Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) are required to file a Flight Note/Plan with the appropriate Region/District Office, Base Camp and/or Transport Canada (if after office hours or requested by ENR). A Flight Note/Plan must be filed with Transport Canada if the ENR Regional Radio Operator is not available (off-season etc.). 1. Flight Following/Flight Watch Pilots on an ENR Flight/Note Plan will continuously monitor designated radio frequencies and report their position every thirty (30) minutes. Reports should take place on intervals of every 30 minutes after take-off time. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PILOT TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN A PROPER FLIGHT WATCH WITH THE DISPATCH CENTRE TO WHICH THE AIRCRAFT HAS BEEN ASSIGNED. When helicopters are assigned to a District/Region, assigned to or working on a wildland fire, the District radio will remain open and have a competent Operator on duty until the aircraft has landed and ceased operation for the day. The exception to this rule is through prior mutual agreement with the District/Region Office and the pilot. Then, flight following may be transferred from one station to another: ⇒ District to Region; ⇒ District to Fire (if aircraft terminates day at fire); or ⇒ District/Region to Transport Canada The transferring station will ensure that the new flight watch transfer is established before closing down operations AND that the pilot is aware of the transfer and in agreement. 2. Loss of Radio Communications It is the Department’s policy that loss of radio communications in any contracted or chartered aircraft constitutes an unserviceable aircraft and is to be removed from services until the situation is rectified. Radio communications means an air-to-air capability (VHF-AM) and air-to-ground capability (VHF-FM). Please refer to Communications Directory (Appendix 12) for current frequencies. 3. Interagency Channel- Common Border Zone Frequency (NT/AB/WBNP/BC/Yukon) CH 5 RX 153.47Mhz TX 153.47Mhz AIR 122.05/129.80 DESIGNATION Fire (Wideband – no tones) NOTE: In case of interference, change to CH 8 (154.37Mhz) for Air Tanker Base Operations only. ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES Page 3 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL D. AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL OVER WILDLAND FIRES The area over and surrounding a wildland fire is a Restricted Air Space, under Canadian Aviation Regulation 601.15. This airspace restriction is defined as “over a forest fire area, or over any area that is located within five nautical miles of a forest fire area at an altitude of less than 3,000 feet AGL.” All flights between points within restricted airspace must be coordinated in such a manner as to entirely remove any possibility of collision. When Air Tankers are deployed on wildland fires, the Birddog pilot is charged with the responsibility for control of air traffic over and in the immediate vicinity of the fire. In the absences of a Birddog, this responsibility will be assumed by the Incident Commander or his/her designate. On dispatch, the Air Attack Officer will make contact with the Regional Office on the assigned FM frequency and will remain so for the duration of the mission. ALL aircraft enroute to a wildland fire will monitor 126.7 MHZ after clearing the airport control zone. Once an aircraft is five miles back of the fire, contact must be made with the Birddog pilot for clearance into the area on 122.05. All other aircraft will maintain communication on the air-to-air frequency (122.05 MHZ). In the event the Incident Commander is on the ground, the assigned FM frequency is to be utilized. The working Birddog aircraft will be on the dedicated primary bombing frequency or assigned – 122.65 – primary/122.25 secondary. Additional (assigned) bombing frequencies – 122.4 / 122.425 / 122.625 / 122.9 / 122.95 / 131.85. While on the wildland fire, Air Tankers will use the bombing frequency for communication with the Air Attack Officer. The Birddog pilot must be advised of and clear all other intended aircraft movement in the zone (take offs, landings, altitude, direction, etc.) on 122.05 MHZ. On aircraft other than tankers, only the pilot-in-command will communicate with the Birddog regarding air traffic control. The VHF-AM radios are only to be used by the aircraft pilots and their Air Attack Officer. Passengers will use the VHF-FM radio (if available) for communications. Passengers will announce their own call sign in conjunction with the aircraft identification when using the radio (i.e. FT12 / F-ABC). Crew names or fire numbers will be used for these individuals. The only exception to this policy occurs when working a wildland fire within controlled airspace of a local airport. Aircraft operations carried out within these areas will be conducted in conjunction with the local controller. Fire operations remain the same as areas out of controlled airspace.

(1524 m) AGL until cleared to another altitude by the airspace controller. ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES Page 5 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL 1. Flight Priorities Flight priorities will be adjusted at the discretion of the airspace controller to suit existing conditions. Normally, the flight priorities are assigned according to fire behavior and necessity (i.e., multi-lightning starts). The following guidelines are used to assign the aircraft flight priorities as listed in order below: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. E. Human emergencies; Air Tankers; Helicopters (bucketing); Service; and Reconnaissance. NOTAMS 601.15 Forest Fire Aircraft Operating Restrictions No person shall operate an aircraft: (a) over a forest fire area or over any area that is located within five nautical miles of a forest fire area at an altitude of less than 3,000 feet AGL; or (b) in any airspace that is described in a NOTAM issued pursuant to Section 601.16 601.16 Issuance of NOTAM for Forest Fire Aircraft Operating Restrictions The Minister may issue a NOTAM that relates to restrictions on the operation of aircraft in the case of a forest fire and that describes: (a) the location and dimensions of the forest fire area; and (b) the airspace in which forest fire control operations are being conducted 601.17 Exceptions Section 601.15 does not apply to: Page 6 (a) persons who are operating an aircraft at the request of an appropriate fire control authority; and (b) Department of Transport personnel who are operating an aircraft in the performance of duties related to surveillance and the enforcement of aviation legislation. ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL F. AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT/SUPERVISION For the purpose of this manual, Department personnel are defined as: a) Employees of the GNWT; AND b) Department contractors and/or individuals whose duties require them to use Rotary Wing and Fixed Wing aircraft for transport or who are involved in loading or unloading such aircraft. 1. A Department employee will be assigned the responsibility of on-site aircraft management and/or supervision when: (a) more than one aircraft is assigned to a Project or Region/District; (b) medium size helicopters or larger (greater than a six passenger capacity) are assigned to a Project or Region/District; or (c) helicopters are being used to bucket water or fire retardants or in slinging operations. 2. All persons involved in aircraft operations will be given adequate instructions including safety procedures before operations commence. 3. Regular air crew briefing and debriefing will be conducted by ENR staff prior to and at termination of activities involving aircraft utilization. 4. It is the responsibility of the aircraft user to ensure the information on the flight ticket/loadsheet is accurate and factual and will validate the flight ticket/loadsheet by his or her signature. G. AIRTANKER AND AIR TANKER BASE OPERATIONS 1. Air Tanker / Air Attack and Tanker Base operations are the responsibility of the Forest Management Division. Aircraft and associated support staff will be positioned at InterRegion by fire load, hazard and risk. Once positioned at a base, Inter-Region/InterDistrict dispatches can be made directly to the group as required. 2. All contact with an Air Tanker group will be via the Air Attack Officer in charge of that group only. 3. All requests for Air Tankers located/positioned outside the Region/District boundaries must be channeled through the Forest Management Division (Territorial Duty Officer) who will be responsible for actioning or denying the request. 4. Once an Air Tanker group has been dispatched by the Forest Management Division (Territorial Duty Officer) to a target or base changed to another Region, it may only be cancelled or rerouted by the Forest Management Division (Territorial Duty Officer). ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES Page 7 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL 5. When the Air Attack Officer and Air Tanker aircraft are over a wildland fire and no ground authority (i.e. Incident Commander) is present, the Air Attack Officer is the Incident Commander until their departure or an appointed Incident Commander assumes the role. 6. The Air Attack Officer is responsible for the safe operations of the Air Tanker group and as such may remove the group from any wildland fire he or she deems hazardous to life or property both to ground and/or aircraft crews. 7. As Air Tankers are primarily an initial attack tool, initial attack on new wildland fires shall take priority over support action on an ongoing fire with the exception where life or property may be at stake. 8. Air Tanker Group Alert System - Alerts for various tanker groups will be set by the Territorial Duty Officer with input from the Region and District offices. Local Region and District Officers may upgrade an individual alert to increase preparedness while undertaking smoke patrols, possible smoke patrols and unforeseen thunder shower/lightning activity. However, a local Region or District cannot lower the established alert without the approval of the Territorial Duty Officer. Resource Alert System – The Alert Status for all resources within each Region/District will be set by respective Regional Duty Officer with the exception of Air Tanker Groups. All resource alerts will be established by the respective Regional Duty Officer after careful analysis of the most current: ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Lightning Activity Preparedness Planning System (LAPPS) Preparedness Forecast; and Fire Weather Forecast. ALERT STANDARDS are as follows: Page 8 (a) Red Designated personnel, aircraft, and equipment ready for immediate dispatch. No aircraft maintenance to be done while on red alert. (b) Yellow Designates personnel, aircraft, and equipment ready for dispatch within thirty (30) minutes of call out. Minor maintenance may be carried out with prior approval. (c) Blue Designated personnel, aircraft, and equipment ready for dispatch within a predetermined time greater than sixty (60) minutes. Significant maintenance may be carried out with prior approval. (d) Green Designated personnel, aircraft, and equipment are stood down usually for a predetermined period of time. ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL H. AIRCRAFT SAFETY 1. Unserviceable Radio Equipment All aircraft employed on fire operations will have operative radio equipment capable of communication with other aircraft, ground crews and Department base facilities (VHFAM, VHF-FM). No aircraft will be allowed on operations without radio communications. Chartered aircraft without acceptable or serviceable radios will be considered unserviceable. 2. Unserviceable Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) All aircraft must be equipped with a serviceable 406 MHZ Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT). An unserviceable ELT will render the aircraft unserviceable for operational use. 3. Overload of Aircraft Load Calculations will be completed before each loaded Initial Attack Operation for rotary wing and before each loaded dispatch for fixed wing transport. Under no circumstances will Department staff or aircrews overload an aircraft. The pilot is responsible for securing internal loads so they do not block exits or shift in flight. The pilot will be provided with the weights required to calculate weight and balance. The pilot or a responsible aircraft company representative must be in attendance for loading of the aircraft for safety reasons. 4. Refueling 5. (a) Department personnel WILL NOT refuel aircraft. (b) During refueling operations, Department personnel will vacate the aircraft until the refueling has been completed. (c) Hot refueling of rotary wing aircraft WILL NOT be allowed at any Department of Environment and Natural Resources operated heliport facility. Department personnel are NOT to be involved in any way in hot refueling operations away from an Environment and Natural Resources’ facility. (d) Aircrews must ensure there is proper grounding and bonding of refueling equipment. (e) Pilots may refuse refueling aircraft from any storage facility. Including unsealed, improperly sealed, or aged drums. The Department WILL NOT use fuel that is more than 12 months past the fill or recertification date. Transporting Fuel Outlined in the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) manual states that passenger and cargo are forbidden to carry petroleum distillates UN1268 in excess of 60 liters when a passenger is onboard. For specific information regarding the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG), please refer to the DGR manual. ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES Page 9 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL 6. Pre-Job Briefing All persons involved in aircraft operations will be given adequate instructions, including safety procedures prior to commencement of operations (See Appendix #9). 7. Flying in Helicopter during Bucketing /Slinging/Drip Torch Operations Department personnel will NOT fly in helicopters being used in a bucketing role, slinging operations, and/or using incendiary devices such as a drip torch. Page 10 ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL 8. Hover Exit Operations: CARS 602.25 Entering or Leaving Aircraft in Flight CARS 702.19 Entering or Leaving a Helicopter in Flight 602.25 Entering or Leaving an Aircraft in Flight (1) No person shall enter or leave an aircraft in flight except with the permission of the pilot-in-command of the aircraft. (2) No pilot-in-command of an aircraft shall permit a person to enter or leave the aircraft during flight unless: (a) the person leaves for the purpose of making a parachute descent; or (b) the flight is authorized under Subpart 3, or the entering or leaving is permitted in accordance with Section 702.19. 702.19 Entering or Leaving a Helicopter in Flight For the purposes of paragraph 602.25 (2) (b), the pilot-in-command of a helicopter may permit a person to enter or leave the helicopter in flight: (a) where: (i) the helicopter is operated at a low hover; (ii) the person is able to enter directly from or alight onto the supporting surface; (iii) the air operator is authorized to do so in its air operator certificate; and (iv) the air operator complies with the Commercial Air Service Standards. NO EMPLANING: Department employees WILL NOT emplane a helicopter while in a hover unless it is considered an emergency. The Department will consider emplaning a helicopter to be an emergency procedure, used only to evacuate employees that are in immediate danger. Helicopter emplaning will be considered an aircraft incident and will be reported as such. Deplaning will only be conducted by trained personnel engaged in forest fire suppression or specialized wildlife work who have received Department training. Department personnel must receive training every season BEFORE hover exiting. Deplaning from Hover can be done only during day VFR conditions while the helicopter maintains a stabilized hover with a maximum skid height of FIVE feet above the ground. PROCEDURES FOR HOVER EXITING ARE SET OUT IN THE DEPARTMENT’S HOVER EXIT MANUAL AND AIR CARRIER’S OPERATIONS MANUAL. ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES Page 11 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL 9. Air Crew and Aircraft Considerations To ensure safety is not compromised by factors contributing to pilot fatigue, the following guidelines will be followed provided they do not exceed the flight time limitations or flight duty time limitations and rest periods as specified in the Air Carriers’ Operations Specifications or Flight Operations Manual. Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) Directorate has determined that the guidelines below apply to all flying. The Superintendent or appropriate Director may approve exceptions in accordance with the guidelines below. To be clearer, exceptions are caused by events, i.e. emergency and are not planned. These approved exceptions require a detailed explanation written on the applicable flight ticket by the ENR representative. a. Flight Duty Day: Aircrews working for the Department will be limited to fourteen (14) hours of duty time in any one-day (24 consecutive hour period). b. FLIGHT TIME: Air crews working for the Department will NOT fly more than eight (8) hours in any 24 hour period (8 hours per day). The EIGHT-hour maximum daily flight time will also include any non-Departmental flying. If a pilot flies for another customer, the EIGHT-hour limit shall be reduced accordingly. For example: If a pilot flies two (2) hours on another job, he/she will only be allowed to fly six (6) hours for the Department during that 24 hour period. c. Exceptions: When in extenuating circumstances, a need exists to exceed the flight time and flight duty time limitations and rest periods as specified in the Commercial Air Service Standards, it will be the pilot-in-command / Air Operators’ responsibility to ensure that the necessary authorizations are obtained. d. Rest Periods: For every four (4) hours of flying time; pilots must have a half-hour rest period AWAY from the aircraft. This half-hour does NOT include aircraft maintenance or refueling time. e. Maintenance: Maintenance is an essential function for the safe operation of all aircraft. Maintenance requirements vary greatly depending on aircraft type and operator requirements. To ensure safety is not compromised by lack of, or the inability to perform maintenance adequately, engineers are not to be separated from their aircraft for any period longer than 24 consecutive hours. When in extenuating circumstances, a need exists to exceed these limits, it is the responsibility of the user to advise the pilot, engineer, and Regional Superintendent/Director, Forest Management before the limits are exceeded. The Regional Superintendent/Director, Forest Management may extend these limits only after all factors contributing to aircraft safety have been considered and an agreement reached with the aircrew concerned. Page 12 ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL Food and Lodging: It is the responsibility of all Department staff involved in aircraft operations to ensure the aircrew is provided with adequate accommodations and nutrition. Accommodation for air crews should not be shared with other personnel, only with the aircraft company’s crewmembers, or where required with other aircrew. Every effort is to be made to provide or locate aircrew accommodations that ensure an atmosphere conductive for sleep and relaxation. (Note: Aircrews, especially engineers’ hours of work may differ from those of the general work place.) The air crew will be expected to camp out at field locations and will require their own sleeping bags and other accessories (cot/foam mattress, toiletries etc.). Accommodations will be suitable for the site and season. Air crew are expected to have in their possession adequate personal effects (sleeping bags, pillow, toiletries, medication, foam mattress etc.) to work from remote locations. The Department will supply air crew with portable sleeping cots and accommodations, this shall be suitable accommodations. This means a single occupancy bedroom that is subject to a minimal level of noise, is well ventilated and has facilities to control the levels of temperature and light or where such a bedroom is not available, an accommodation that is suitable for the site and season is subject to a minimal level of noise and provides adequate comfort and protection from the elements as outlined in Canadian Air Regulations. f. Rotations From Remote Bases: The positioning of air crews at remote Fire Attack Bases, Base Camps, Staging Areas or Work Projects will only be for a short duration, with a maximum 3 to 5 days before rotated out to a regional center or closest community where commercial accommodations are provided. Determination of the application for this rotation will be based upon the Regional Duty Officer’s evaluation of the following factors: i) ii) iii) iv) requirement of aircraft on site; status of air crew fatigue and morale factors; living conditions and facilities on site; and location and availability of alternate resource. These limitations are guidelines and may vary depending upon the situation. Aircrews rotated out from a remote base must be relocated to a community or base location with access to the following services and facilities: i) ii) iii) iv) v) electrical and washing facilities for aircraft maintenance; secure storage for aircraft equipment and spares; commercial transportation for movement of spares and air crew personnel; commercial or Department accommodation complete with beds, showers and telephone access; and laundry and incidental services. The rotation period should NOT be LESS than 36 hours. ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES Page 13 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL 10. Accident Definition All accidents involving Departmental use of aircraft will be reported immediately in a confidential manner to the Director, Forest Management and the Manager, Aviation Services. An accident is an occurrence in which a person suffers injury or death and/or an aircraft is damaged. SEE THE DEPARTMENT’S AIRCRAFT ACCIDENT RESPONSE MANUAL FOR FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING AIRCRAFT ACCIDENTS, AS WELL AS MISSING OR OVERDUE AIRCRAFT. Page 14 ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL 11. Incident Definition All incidents involving Departmental use of aircraft will be reported immediately in a confidential manner to the Director, Forest Management and the Manager, Aviation Services. An incident means an aviation occurrence, other than an accident, that affects or could affect the safe operation of an aircraft. Some examples of incidents are: ⇒ any illuminated warning lights at any time (chip lights etc.); ⇒ any aborted take-offs; ⇒ any problems with landings (flapless landings, etc.); ⇒ dropping a load during slinging operations; ⇒ unsecured items at landing sites including debris; ⇒ low fuel problems; ⇒ weather related problems; ⇒ helipad construction problems; ⇒ fuel pump failure; ⇒ engine starting problems; ⇒ unauthorized hover exiting; ⇒ loading/weight problems; ⇒ where an object comes in contact with an aircraft where contact was not intended or is detrimental to the aircraft; ⇒ an deviation from standard operating procedures; or ⇒ dangerous goods unlawfully transported. The above are just a few examples of incidents that must be reported for the following reasons: ⇒ to monitor aircrew and passenger safety; ⇒ to monitor pilot fatigue; ⇒ to monitor individual aircraft capabilities; ⇒ to monitor various aircraft components (i.e., if several incidents were reported on the dropping of water buckets, perhaps it might be a malfunction with the hook); ⇒ to detect any patterns or trends in the incidents and then take a preventative course of action (this was one of the reasons for developing the Hover Exit Procedure Manual); ⇒ to explain delays in departures/arrival; or ⇒ to identify what the Department needs to improve.

AIRCRAFT INCIDENT / OCCURRENCE REPORT a) Date and time of incident/occurrence: June 24, 2015 at 1030 hrs. b) Name of carrier: XYZ Helicopters Ltd. c) Name of pilot: Joe Pilot d) Type of aircraft: Astar 350B2 e) A/C registration: C-GOLF f) A/C assigned to: Hay River Duty Officer – John Smith g) Function of aircraft: Mountain Pine Beetle bait traps h) Purchase order number: 123710 i) Routing of aircraft: YHY – Cameron Hills - YHY j) Location of Incident/Occurrence: Cameron Hills k) Passenger Name(s): Sam Black, Jane Jones l) Nature of Incident/Occurrence: The aircraft was required to land on the cutlines as these were the only suitable landing areas. Hover exits were not intended and both the pilot and the passengers were instructed that hover exits would not be permitted. The pilot took the necessary precautions before landing to ensure the landing site was suitable. As well, the passengers were watching nearby trees to ensure clearance was adequate. The pilot adjusted the aircraft slightly to his right just before touchdown and the machine went a little too far to the right and the end tip of the main rotor clipped a black spruce tree, hitting the bark of the tree. Nothing was felt during the landing but after shutting down a portion of bark was noticed missing from a tree and the tie down strap at the end of the rotor blade was bent from the impact. Another aircraft was ferried in to return the passengers to Hay River. The pilot tested the blades by hovering and the machine operated normally, whereas it ferried to the highway where engineers determined there was no damage to the rotor blade and the tie down clips could be repaired with little effort.

This report to be completed by the air crew involved in the incident. SHELL ANALYSIS Please fill-in all the fields below and submit to: Aviation Services: Fax: (867) 872-2148 or Email to: [email protected] Aircraft Registration: C-GOLF Date of Incident: June 24, 2015 Software: All aspects of XYZ Helicopters Ltd. flight operations are covered in the class, referenced, or experienced in flight during the training period. In the classroom, general discussion is encouraged and varies from class to class. Annual incidents and accidents are de-sensitized and discussed along with TC CADORS with all classes. Specifically, confined areas and situational awareness are dealt with during the "flight" phase of the training. Certain aspects of these items would be discussed, if they were noted, as incidents/accidents in the previous year as a weak area operationally. All helicopter pilots receive confined area theory and practical training constantly from the start of their career. It is one of the most experienced aspects of a bush pilot's job. It is also one of those high risk aspects of the job. I would venture to say that as long as we are dealing with humans and mother nature we will not eliminate this risk. We are constantly modifying our recurrent training programs to mitigate this and other risks of the job. Hardware: From the pilot's line of sight or view, in this particular aircraft, the pilot does not have 360 degree visibility to see all external physical hazards. The helicopter AS350 BA was equipped and met the standards of the contract. Environment: Two environments here; the internal environment in the aircraft between passenger and pilot and the external physical environment (the landing zone). Lots of human factors happening within the internal environment. The external environment (landing zone) could have been modified by physically making it larger or by choosing another landing area. The landing zone should be preplanned and approved in advance of utilization. It is assumed that the traps would be monitored and the helicopter would have to land again at least once again at this site. The weather conditions on June 24 were excellent. The pilot was requested to land on the Cameron Hills, which is an area that is difficult to find a landing area. The pilot found a cutline and circled 3 times before deciding to land. Page 18 ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL The pilot felt the area was large enough to accommodate the helicopter. He hovered over the site and checked the left side clearance. The pilot inadvertently moved the helicopter too far right and the main rotor blades hit a Black Spruce tree. He moved the helicopter a little to the left and landed. He then observed that the tree bark had been skinned and the main rotor blades were bent. Liveware: (Other People) Liveware: (Pilot/Aircrew) The pilot's decision to accept the landing area could have been influenced by a natural desire to please the customer and carry out their request. The pilot is a very experienced pilot and has worked in many different geographical areas. He has had annual recurrent flight training every year during his career. He felt there was no question of fatigue because the air crew has excellent accommodations and meals. He also felt flight hours and duty days were not a factor. There has never been any pressure from ENR in his role as the pilot. The customer was briefed on the day of the occurrence and the usual preparations were made for the job that day. He had accumulated 80 hours of flight time so far this year. Observations and recommendations: It is well known that it can be difficult to find a proper safe landing area below the tree line. Initial attack crews have one power saw operator on board which allows a hover exit. The power saw operator exits and cuts out a pad suitable for the landing. Trap landing sites and other project sites should possibly be treated the same way. Especially if the landing site is going to be used time and time again. It would be prudent to have these project sites preplanned, prepared and approved prior to the project start.

The pilot must ALWAYS make his or her determination on the side of safety first! xiv) Directs the loading and/or off-loading of the aircraft. overloaded. Aircraft will not be ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL J. MANIFESTING In the interests of safety, the pilot-in-command shall ensure that a manifest of all crewmembers and passengers on board has been completed. A copy of this manifest shall remain at the point of initial departure. Manifest changes will be left at subsequent points of departure when practical. In those instances where multiple short flights will be made in a specific geographical area, which involves frequent changes of passengers, a single manifest of all passengers involved may be left with an appropriate person to preclude unreasonable administrative burden. However, the Department will also maintain a passenger manifest. Each crewmember, contractor, and Departmental staff will be assigned a number by their respective Regional Office. This number will be utilized instead of first and last names. Each Regional Office will maintain a master list of all their personnel with their assigned numbers. In a case of an Inter-Regional dispatch, this list will be forwarded to the applicable Region. It will be the responsibility of an assigned Departmental Representative (Crew Leader/Radio Operator) to ensure that a manifest is recorded for each flight. In instances which involve frequent changes of passengers this manifest MUST be updated. This manifest must be relayed to an appropriate Departmental Representative on the ground (Radio Operator at a Base Camp/Regional Office/Fire Camp). K. WEATHER Aviation weather is available from Flight Service stations in: Fort Smith, Yellowknife, Hay River, Fort Simpson, Norman Wells, and Inuvik. In addition to this, complete coverage and forecasts will be available from the Forest Management Division (867-872-7700) and at Regional Offices on a daily basis during the summer months. L. GOVERNMENT VEHICLE POLICY All Government vehicles, whether owned or rented by the Department, are restricted to use on Government business. Government vehicles may ONLY be operated (driven) by Government employees due to insurance restrictions. The Department disclaims any responsibility in cases of any accident where the driver was not carrying out business for the Department. M. ALCOHOL AND DRUGS The possession and/or consumption of alcoholic beverages and drugs in any aircraft, vehicle or on any premise owned, occupied or under the control of the Department is strictly prohibited. As ENR Camps and Fire Attack Bases are classified as Departmental premises, this policy will apply to all locations. All personnel under employment, contract or on hire to the Department will be made aware of this policy and adhere to it. ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES Page 21 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL N. AIR CHARTER PURCHASE ORDERS The Air Charter Purchase Orders are formal agreements between the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Air Carrier. When do short-term contracts start? If a helicopter is hired from the location it is presently located and ferry time is agreed upon by the Department, then the contract starts the “minute” the helicopter leaves in order to ferry to or within the NWT. This information can be obtained from the Air Charter Purchase Order under the section “Point of Hire”. If the helicopter company has a machine located elsewhere (Point A) but tells us they will be positioned at some other point (Point B) within the NWT or some closer point and we agree to hire them if they arrive at Point B by a certain time, then the contract will start only when the helicopter arrives (and is ready to work) at Point B. Note: If the helicopter arrived at Point B very late in the day, which would not allow flight minimums to be flown off, then the contract would start the following morning OR there would be no flight minimums for that day. Also see “Point of Hire” on the Air Charter Purchase Order. On the Air Charter Purchase Order see “Point of Release” to determine what locations we will pay ferry time to when the helicopter is released at the end of the contract. An example of an Air Charter Purchase Order is on the next page. TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT MAY RESULT FROM THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS (also see current Standing Offer Agreement (SOA) for aircraft services): 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Page 22 Non-compliance with Transport Canada regulations; Prolonged unserviceablilty of aircraft; Aircrew is either insufficiently experienced or incompatible with the Department’s management team; Unserviceable radios/ELT; Failure to carry out reasonable orders from authorities in charge or by mutual agreement; The aircraft fails to perform according to the manufacturer’s specifications; or Failure to operate the aircraft within the normal safety guidelines that are acceptable within the Resource Management Industry.

FLIGHT TICKETS & AIRCRAFT LOADSHEET/TRIP LOGS Flight tickets and the Aircraft Loadsheet/Trip Log must be filled out daily. A flight ticket is still required if no flying is done, a loadsheet is not necessary. Note on the flight ticket the reason no flying was done. If the aircraft is unserviceable, enter the start time as well as the time the aircraft becomes serviceable. Flight tickets and Loadsheet/Trip Logs (white and yellow copies) are to be submitted at the end of each day and verified correct and complete by the Officer in charge, preferably the Regional Duty Officer. This procedure is important to ensure our daily expenditures are current. Should an air carrier provide a substitute aircraft due to unserviceablilty, it must be indicated on the Loadsheet/Trip Log and the accumulative hour totals must be carried on until the original aircraft is back on line.

(see Appendix #1) Section Three – Flight Time Rotary Wing_____________________ enter the total time from the moment the helicopter first moves under its own power for the purpose of taking off until the moment it comes to rest at the end of the flight (or in other words, from the time the helicopter commences hovering until it ceases to hover after landing). When operations involve a continuous succession of flights, each LESS than ten minutes duration AND the engine is NOT shut down between such flights, flying time shall be computed from the time the helicopter commences to hover for the first flight until the helicopter ceases to hover after the final landing. This flight time should be recorded to the nearest six minutes using the decimal system in Appendix 3. Fixed Wing (excluding Air Tankers) ___ This flight time MUST be entered in MILES for all point-to-point flights where flight distances are measurable. The flight time will ONLY be entered by the HOUR IF engaged in operations involving flights or parts thereof where flight distances are NOT measurable, such as reconnaissance flights or detection patrols. The flight time for fixed wing aircraft where the distances are NOT measurable will be the total time from the moment the aircraft first moves under its own power for the purpose of taking off until the moment it comes to rest at the end of the flight. When applicable, flight time should be recorded to the nearest six minutes using the decimal system in Appendix 3. ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES Page 25 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL Section Four – Remarks Remarks ______________________enter any new fires discovered and any additional information or explanations of the flight.

For drummed fuel, note the date and batch number of the fuel. This procedure is required to keep our fuel inventory records up-to-date. INCLUDE THE BATCH NUMBER OF THE DEPARTMENT’S DRUMMED FUEL ON THE DEPARTMENT’S LOADSHEET/TRIP LOG. Note: AIRCRAFT COMPANY FUEL, fuel the company pays for themselves, should be indicated on COMPANY flight tickets ONLY! Failure to record Company Fuel Charges on the COMPANY flight ticket will result in non-payment. Section Seven – Crew Expenses Meals_________________________check off all applicable meals that were NOT provided by the Department. Record the dollar amount of accommodations and transportation (EXCLUDING GST). These are the expenses incurred for company payment. Failure to record expenses incurred in the Crew Expenses Section of the Loadsheet / Trip Log will result in NO reimbursement to the company Page 26 ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL Section Eight – Expense Authorization This section MUST BE approved, signed and dated by the ENR Officer in charge. NO CHANGES will be permitted on the Aircraft Loadsheet / Trip Log and Company Flight Tickets AFTER Certification. Changes made prior to certification must be initialed by the appropriate Authority. Persons certifying the Loadsheet / Trip Log and flight tickets should CHECK ALL ENTRIES to make sure they are correct before signing the documents. This includes verifying that claimed expenses were authorized and correct. Note: Double check up and down times and conversions to hours system (see Appendix #3). These amounts MUST match the Flight Time Conversion Table. Any discrepancies will be calculated to the lowest time entered by the Department. If the flight time for the day is over eight (8) hours (for which prior approval was given), a detailed explanation as to why must be written on the applicable flight ticket/loadsheet by the ENR representative.

ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES Page 29 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL P. AIRCREW EXPENSES AND AIR CARRIER INVOICING All aircraft crew must record their full daily expenses, meals, accommodations and transportation in the “Crew Expenses” section of EACH Aircraft Loadsheet/Trip Log. Each Aircraft Loadsheet/Trip Log must be approved and signed by a Department representative. Failure to indicate the total daily aircrew expenses on the Aircraft Loadsheet/Trip Log will result in NO reimbursement being made to the carrier. THE GNWT CANNOT ACCEPT AND IS NOT LIABLE FOR THIRD PARTY BILLING. CREW EXPENSES, SUCH AS ACCOMODATIONS OR VEHICLE RENTALS CANNOT BE BILLED DIRECTLY TO THE GNWT. Crew Expenses are reimbursable ONLY when indicated as such on the Air Charter Purchase Order. Generally, they are reimbursable if the aircrew is away from home base or point of hire. Meals Aircrews will be responsible for paying their own meals and the aircraft company will invoice the Department as per the current GNWT Duty Travel Rates (see Appendix #5) for each person on site. No receipts are necessary for meals. Aircrews MAY NOT claim for meals, incidentals or private accommodations while staying at GNWT facilities, satellite bases or camps. Meals CANNOT be claimed if supplied by the GNWT. Incidentals may only be claimed if the contractor overnights in a place other than his or her home base AND they may also be claimed on the last day of any contract longer than one day provided the crew has been away from their home base. Where the return trip is made in one day, the amount claimable shall be on the basis of meals only. Incidentals CANNOT be claimed for a one-day trip. Depending on the time of day the aircraft is hired, some meals may not be claimed. For instance, on the first day of the contract, we expect not only the aircraft to be fuelled and ready to go but the pilot as well. Therefore, on DAY 1 of the contract, BREAKFAST WILL NOT BE CLAIMED. Claims cannot be made for meals when the aircrew is at their home base within a reasonable time frame (e.g. at home base by 16:30 hrs. -no claim for dinner can be made). Reimbursement will NOT be provided when the DEPARTURE of the aircraft from home base or point of hire is: - for breakfast, expenses are not eligible for reimbursement - for lunch, later than 13:00 hours - for dinner, later than 18:30 hours Reimbursement will NOT be provided when the ARRIVAL of the aircraft at home base or point of release is: - for breakfast, earlier than 07:30 hours; - for lunch, earlier than 12:30 hours; - for dinner, earlier than 18:30 hours Page 30 ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL The Department will approve accommodation and/or meals for the following number of people (ppl) actually on the working site for the period the meals or accommodations are being charged for: Helicopter Classes Light Helicopters (Bell 206B, Hughes 500) – 2 ppl (1 pilot & 1 engineer) Intermediate Helicopters (Bell 206L, Bell206L-1, Astar) – 2 ppl (1 pilot & 1 engineer) Medium Helicopters (Bell 204, Bell 212) – 2 ppl (1 pilot & 1 engineer) Heavy Helicopters (S-55, S-58) – 3 ppl (1 pilot, 1 crewman & 1 engineer) Fixed Wing Aircraft Single & Multi Engine, Light (C185, Beaver, Baron, C310, C337) – 1 ppl (1 pilot) Single Engine, Medium (Single Otter) – 2 ppl (1 pilot & 1 crewman/engineer) Multi Engine, Medium (Twin Otter) – 2 ppl (1 pilot & 1 crewman/engineer) Air Tankers: 2 CL-215s and 1 Birddog Aircraft – 7 ppl (3 pilots, 2 co-pilots & 2 engineers) 1 Electra and 1 Birddog - 6 ppl (2 pilots, 1 co-pilot & 3 engineers) or - 5 ppl (2 pilots, 1 co-pilot & 2 engineers) 1 DC-4 and 1 Birddog aircraft – 5 ppl (2 pilots, 1 co-pilot & 2 engineers) Accommodations / Transportation All aircrews are to use their proper names along with their respective company name when reserving and/or paying for accommodations and rental vehicles. DO NOT use the GNWT or the Department’s Name as you are NOT employed by the Government of Northwest Territories. Aircrews will be responsible for paying their own accommodations/transportation and must submit receipts to their company so the aircraft company can submit the receipts (excluding the GST), along with respective flight tickets and invoice to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. In the event of a sudden Base change where the aircrew pays accommodations at two locations, an explanation must accompany the invoice and flight ticket. Accommodations CANNOT be claimed for the day the aircraft is released. If unforeseen circumstances arise where accommodations are necessary for the date of release, an explanation must accompany the invoice and flight ticket. Invoices for vehicle rentals, accommodations, and taxis MUST BE supported by a receipt with the applicable dates listed. ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES Page 31 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL Aircrews must ensure that all accommodation/transportation charges are recorded on the appropriate flight ticket/aircraft loadsheet. Failure to comply with this guideline will result in NO reimbursement to the air carrier. Fuel All fuel is supplied by the Department, either by the GNWT owned fuel system or by the air carrier purchasing fuel and then invoicing the Department. Rotary Wing Aircraft: When a Rotary Wing Aircraft is hired, it is assumed that the aircraft is fuelled and ready to go. We DO NOT pay for fuel AT the Point-of-Hire. We do pay/or provide fuel for the ferry flight enroute to its base of operation FROM the Point-of-Hire. The Department will also pay/or provide fuel for the ferry flight from the base of operations to the Point-ofRelease, and will top it up upon return to the Point-of-Release. Fixed Wing Aircraft: When a Fixed Wing Aircraft is hired, the fuel rate will be fixed on either a Mileage or Hourly Rate, along with any applicable surcharges supported by receipts. Air Tanker Aircraft: For Air Tankers, the aircraft will arrive on base at the beginning of the season with fuel to perform the first of the season’s missions. This is defined as four (4) hours of fuel that the company would be responsible for. At the end of the season, the aircraft would be fuelled by the Department to the four (4) hour level prior to leaving the base. Invoices for fuel purchased or supplied by the aircraft company must be supported by a receipt. Any fuel purchased or supplied by the air carrier has to be shown on the appropriate flight ticket/ aircraft loadsheet. Failure to comply with this guideline will result in no reimbursement being made to the air carrier. INCLUDE THE BATCH NUMBER OF THE DEPARTMENT’S FUEL ON THE DEPARTMENT’S LOADSHEET/TRIP LOG. Crew Change Air carrier initiated crew changes will be paid by the air carrier. Crew expenses related to such crew changes will be also be paid by the air carrier. Air crew changes requested by the GNWT will be paid by the GNWT with the exception of unsatisfactory aircrew performance. The carrier must advise the Forest Management Division, Aviation Services section of any crew changes 48 hours in advance (see Appendix #15). NO SUBSTITUTIONS FOR AIRCRAFT AND PILOTS WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT PRIOR AUTHORIZATION FROM THE FOREST MANAGEMENT DIVISION, AVIATION SERVICES SECTION. Page 32 ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL Daily Minimums Aircraft hired on a casual basis, less than one day, ARE NOT compensated for daily minimums unless the aircraft is booked as such or the accumulated waiting period charge exceeds the daily minimum. Aircraft hired on a short-term basis, more than one day, the daily minimums are averaged. If prior to termination an aircraft is extended, the daily minimums for the aircraft will be recalculated. This is based on the minimums that would have applied had the original air charter purchase order (PO) included the period of the extension. The daily minimums are cumulative over the life of the air charter purchase order, which includes all subsequent extensions. For example: If the daily minimums for the charter are 4.0 hours a day for the period of May 01 to May 05, the guaranteed hours would be 20 hours. (5 days x 4 hrs/day = 20 hours). If the Air Charter Purchase Order were extended for another two days, then the guaranteed hours would now be 28. (5 days + 2 day extension x 4 hrs/day = 28 hours). The daily minimums are averaged. In the event of an unserviceable or unavailable aircraft, the daily minimum hours WILL NOT be paid and no others charges or recoverable expenses including crew expenses will be considered. An aircraft will be considered to be unavailable or unserviceable during any 24 hour period commencing at 0700 hours, local time, when the aircraft cannot due to mechanical failure of the said aircraft, inability of the crew to perform duties including but not limited to where the crew has exceeded statutory flight and duty time limitations, or failure of specialized equipment to complete contracted assignments. Unserviceable ELT, radio equipment and accessories are to be considered as rendering the aircraft unserviceable for operational use. Other Aircraft are normally released at a time of day that will allow depositioning to the Point-ofRelease (as noted on the Air Charter Purchase Order) on the same day. Additional expenses will not be accepted or reimbursed should the aircrew or air carrier delay their departure and/or stay overnight unless circumstances dictate or prior approval is given. Air carriers are responsible for the transportation and costs of transportation for spare parts and special equipment that is required to service the aircraft unless prior written approval has been given. The air carrier must ship all freight directly to the air crew whenever possible. Fire Suppression activities are EXEMPT FROM NAV CANADA CHARGES. Note the instructions on the Purchase Order. It is expected that all air carriers should deal with Northern Registered Companies for services such as vehicles or hotels as opposed to fellow company employees or private citizens. ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES Page 33 2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL Invoicing Each company invoice should reference ONLY ONE Air Charter Purchase Order number (extensions included) and should state the correct Purchase Order number and aircraft registration. The rates shown on the Air Charter Purchase Order reflect the rates provided through the Standing Offer Agreement (SOA) or Air Charter Request for Tender. These are the only rates considered for reimbursement. Unused minimums should be shown as a separate item on the invoice. The Goods and/or Services purchased by the Government of the Northwest Territories are being purchased with Crown Funds and are therefore not subject to the Goods and Services Tax (GST). GST must be deducted from hotel bills, vehicle rentals, etc. that are submitted to the GNWT for reimbursement. Even though the Contractor will not charge G.S.T., the contractor may be eligible to receive input tax credits with respect to any G.S.T. liability incurred by the Contractor in providing the property and services if such a refund would be available in other circumstances. It is the Government of the Northwest Territories’ (GNWT) policy NOT TO PAY any invoice until it becomes due. Therefore, we cannot receive any invoice in our office before services have been rendered. It is RECOMMENDED that crew expenses be invoiced separately from the flight time charges to ensure there are no delays in your company receiving payment. Invoices for crew expenses must be supported by receipts (except meals) and should be separated into individual days and by individual air charter purchase order numbers (extensions included). When invoicing for Fixed Wing Aircraft (excluding Air Tankers), we will ONLY pay the rate per mile for all Point-to-Point flights where the distances are measurable and we will pay the rate per hour for flights or parts thereof where the flight distances are NOT measurable, such as detection patrols or reconnaissance flights. All invoices must be submitted to the Forest Management Division no more than thirty (30) calendar days after the final release date on any air charter purchase order or long-term contract.

The information is given in this order: 1. Fire #: 2. Co-ordinates: Latitude and longitude 3. Bearing: Magnetic bearing from your location 4. Distance: To be given in statues miles measured in a straight line from your location 5. Other Aircraft: Other aircraft dispatched, their frequencies and call signs. 6. Remarks: Geographic references, Incident Commander, other crews and their calls signs or other relevant information. On the dispatch the Initial Response Officer or Crew Leader is given some critical pieces of information. To be certain that this information has been received correctly, the Initial Response Officer or Crew Leader will read back this information to the dispatcher. The dispatcher responds, “Read back correct”, if no errors have been made. Once the dispatch has been received the Initial Response Officer or Crew Leader plots the fire on his/her map, shows the pilot the location marked on the map and passes on the bearing and distance to the pilot. This is done as soon as possible so the pilot can inform the Flight Services Station of the outbound track and distance.
